LRC, Houston - the weekends-free church in Houston, Texas

Compared to many I’ve led a blessed life, to others one of poverty. Life IS what it IS. I will be attending a retreat at Namaste later this year, but Cynthia Signet will not be the instructor-guide. I don’t know if I could even begin to relate to her life. By her standards, my life is one big bore. Just visiting her retreat center is close enough for me, and here’s why.

As she says on her web site, “For over 20 years I apprenticed under medicine teachers and shamans until I became all that I was taught. I was hung by my feet off a pyramid, nearly froze to death in a vision quest, stared a cougar down in the wild and had my life laid out by those that could evidently ‘see it’ better than I could”.

You GO GIRL!

Me? I’m not quite ready for “prime time” yet.

I am so grateful to those that go places that I never will, nor want to. I admire the grit, gut, spit, and courage of those who break physical laws and live to tell me about it. There is ONE that I am interested in following though to see how He did it. His name?

Jesus the Christ!

I am aware though that there is another another dimension where the possiblities for transformation are boundless. In this other place, a profoundly holistic sense of the sacred prevails. I want to BE there, while here. A don Miguel Angel, or Cynthia Signet I’ll never be, but somehow I think I can approach (at least desperately want to) the plane upon which Jesus, the Christ lived.

That’s whom I’m comparing my life to. I’m needing lots of people to help me get there, and many have and are. Wanna help me?

Who are you comparing your bad self to?
